What is worth visiting in Nova Scotia?

Answer 1

Peggy's Cove is popular as a very scenic tourism location, calendar photo, and for the SwissAir 111 crash off shore there in 1998. However Nova Scotia has much more than that to be famous for - to name just a few:

Joe Howe, the father of representative government in North America;

Sidney Crosby, the final goal scorer at the 2010 Olympics Gold Medal hockey game;

the highest daily tidal change in the world in the Bay of Fundy - up to 50';

Dalhousie University in Halifax;

Alexander Graham Bell did much of his work in Cape Breton, NS , most famously inventing the telephone but also for organizing the first powered flight in the British Empire;

Samuel Cunard ran his huge steamship line from Nova Scotia;

many of the recovered bodies from the Titanic are buried in Nova Scotia;

Halifax Harbour and the adjoining Bedford Basin was the staging area for all trans-Atlantic convoys of troops and supplies for both the WWI and WWII effort; it was also the site of the Halifax Explosion during WWI with remnants still visible;

Stanfield's Knitting Mills in Truro has supplied long-johns (and other garments) to Canadians for decades;

Nova Scotia had the first province-wide, all public safety agency, two-way radio system in North America;

and perhaps the most visible famous Nova Scotian is the schooner Bluenose which appears on the obverse of the Canadian dime and has been there for years - and she still sails every summer between Halifax and her home in Lunenburg.
